First of all, has anyone replied to this offer?

I believe this would be useful. We already have a Tips-HOWTO which
|
|
is a collection of miscellania, so an Algorithms-HOWTO should have
|
|
no problems in fitting in, and more importantly it does fill a
|
|
hole in the current set of HOWTOs.

This too I feel we need. I tried some time ago to ask this
|
|
collection author to join the LDP but got only spam back:
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.swin.edu.au/astronomy/pbourke/">http://www.swin.edu.au/astronomy/pbourke/</A>
|
|
A collection/overview of data formats is useful but I don't
|
|
know if any freely distributable ones exist.

|
|
|
|
I am sure the first two would do nicely and I also suspect these
|
|
would require more or less continuous updates as new software
|
|
comes along.
